Fernando Alonso is now 40, but is as motivated as ever to achieve success in Formula 1. However, he does not have the material to fight for podiums and the two-time world champion would like to see that change.
According to the Spaniard, the differences between the Formula 1 cars must be reduced so that more drivers have a chance of a podium. "We need to address the difference between the cars, and next year may be the first step in that," he said in a conversation with Motorsport.com.

"If you're lucky enough to be in a competitive car at the moment, your teammate is your biggest opponent, rather than another team. You finish on the podium in 95 percent of races, whether you are 19 or 45," the Alpine driver continued.
According to Alonso, the key is to address that. "That way the battle becomes more open and one day everyone can fight for the podium. At the moment that's not possible," concluded the two-time world champion.
